Some people would think about LifeSparc and other similar tracking systems as specific to work life. That would be missing its intent. LifeSparc is more for things that are out of our reach, for things that we cannot or do not normally do. For example, a high-powered executive man or woman who has been alpha personality type may not feel the need for a system for work. Perhaps they naturally obsess and achieve things in their career that they value. That may not be where the problem is. Often the problem is in our blind spot.
Where this person might need help could be on the family front. Maybe they're not particularly good at building relationships with their children. Maybe it's their sister,brother, mom or dad.They've buried their problems in activity and excuse but frustratingly it keeps resurfacing. This exec archetype may not realize it but they have a complex problem and need a different set of tools.
That humans are perennially reaching, that we are if not unhappy we stay unsettled, is not a bad trait . Humans would still be living in caves if we were easily contented. So discontentment is not a problem unless it ruins our happiness. As Alan Watts says we can't just think a happy life ending is what we seek. Know that life is a song and we have to sing with it as it's going on; enjoying every step.
LifeSparcs, then, helps us reach and achieve a new, improved life state where that what vexed us now reinforces us. It helps us breakdown highly complex tasks into smaller chunks, focuses our attention on that for a week at a time. It provides a framework of renewal and review, of coaching and counting small things that add up to big things that matter, regardless work or home life, if you make that distinction.
